The five day festival of Diwali began on Monday with Dhanteras giving Bollywood celebs another reason to go out and have some fun. Shahid Kapoor was spotted on an outing with his wife Mira Rajput and daughter Misha in Juhu. The family was dressed in casuals as they ventured out without the new entrant of the family—Zain. The couple had welcomed their second child in September this year.

Meanwhile, Roy actor Arjun Rampal was spotted with friend and South African model-actor Gabriella Demetriades in Mumbai. Dressed up in a tee and distressed jeans, she has often been spotted with the actor. Arjun lost his mother to breast cancer a few days ago. He had announced his separation with his wife of 20 years Mehr Jesia in May this year and is a father of two teenage daughters.

Kareena Kapoor and Malaika Arora were spotted outside a gym together. The two are the best friends and share their love for fitness. Kareena had attended the 40th anniversary celebrations of the Prithvi Festival along with husband Saif Ali Khan on Monday. The couple was also spotted with son Taimur Ali Khan in Bandra.

Saif’s daughter Sara Ali Khan, who is making her Bollywood debut with Kedarnath, was also spotted outside a gym in Bandra yesterday. She was dressed in a white embroidered kurta. Actor Shraddha Kapoor was also seen leaving a restaurant in the city. She was dressed in casual gymwear.

On the other hand, Baadshaho actor Ileana D’Cruz was spotted outside a clinic in the city whereas Gauri Khan was greeted by a group of women while leaving an eatery on Pali Hill road in Mumbai.

Kangana Ranaut is the most vociferous actor in Bollywood who doesn’t bat an eyelid before speaking her heart out on issues that matter or calling out those not in her good books. The actor, who kickstarted the nepotism debate in the film industry that continues even today, hasn’t played a girl next door in any of her films in years. She plays a Maratha warrior Rani Laxmibai in her upcoming film Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and has said that she will ‘destroy’ those who protest against her film. As Kangana continues to remain the most outspoken celebrity in the film industry, here are some of her powerful statements that not just leave an impact but also define the person she is.

Kangana tells Karni Sena, she will destroy each one of them

Kangana issued a statement in reply to the Maharashtra Karni Sena’s warning to the makers of her film Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. “Four historians have certified Manikarnika, we have got censor certificate as well, Karni Sena has been conveyed this but they are continuing to harass me. If they don’t stop then they should know I am also a Rajput and I will destroy each one of them.”

Kangana thinks a film can be made on her life

Kangana recalled her horrible experiences in 2018 and told DNA in an interview, “There were only cases; about six to seven of them. People were trying to put me behind bars, can you believe that? They should make a film on my life also.” She was hinting at the several people she is at loggerheads with, while referring to her upcoming film Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, based on the life of Rani Laxmibai.

When Kangana accused Karan Johar of making girls look like Barbie dolls

Kangana’s relationship with producer Karan Johar is well known after she called him the flag-bearer of nepotism on his chat show, Koffee With Karan. During the #MeToo movement, Kangana called out Karan for not saying anything on the issue. She went on to criticise his show in a chat with India Today, “I was seeing some promo that they have launched for this talk show. Again those same frivolous talks are going on. This one sleeping with this one, that one with that one. Making girls look like Barbie dolls, that is not done. And why men who change women like clothes being glorified? Has there been a woman who has been glorified like that.”

Kangana doesn’t take credit for what she hasn’t done

When Kangana was called a feminist during an interviews, she had said, “That tag sits a little heavy on me. Right now, that tag seems a bit superficial on me. I haven’t done anything significant to deserve this. I wouldn’t want to pretend I’m doing something for the society when I’m not. The day I do, I’d take pride in that. I wouldn’t want to take credit for something I’m not intentionally doing.”

Kangana doesn’t work with other heroes because she is her own hero

Kangana is one of the only Bollywood A-listers to have never worked with any of the Khans. When she was asked about the same in an interview after she won a National Award for Tanu Weds Manu Returns, she said, “In the beginning, I wanted to have a conventional, very easy route where I can work with big heroes and be a big heroine. Now I get a lot of offers to work with the Khans. When I wanted work, nobody was ready to work with me. Now that I’m my own hero on the sets, why should I work with other heroes?”

Kangana and Karan were engaged in an unending war of words post the nepotism debate which kickstarted on his chat show, Koffee With Karan. Fed up with her regular remarks against him, Karan had accused her of playing the woman card and the victim card. In reply to him, she told Mumbai Mirror, “I use every card possible. At the workplace, it’s the badass card to fight cutthroat competition. With my family and loved ones, it’s the love card. When fighting the world, it’s the dignity card, and for a seat in a bus, it’s the woman card. What is important to understand is that we are not fighting people, we are fighting a mentality. I am not fighting Karan Johar, I am fighting male chauvinism.”

Kangana had praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year calling him “the rightful leader of the democracy.” On being asked about entering politics someday, the actor said that it is not her cup of tea. She told Mid-Day, “If I have to be a national servant, I can’t have a family or kids, or an alternate career. A politician should be nothing more than a government servant. I can’t be an actor with an interest in movies, and at the same time, pursue a future in politics. I don’t want any conflict to arise over my service to the nation, not even my family’s expectations of me. I have set high standards for myself.”

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is currently spending quality time with wife Tahira Kashyap, who has been giving breast cancer a tough fight. Basking in the success of his two back-to-back blockbusters Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho, the actor has been on Tahira’s side as she finished her chemotherapy sessions. The writer and mother have been sporting her bald look with pride and was in her confident avatar as she partied with Ayushmann and brother-in-law Aparshakti Khurrana at their friend’s birthday party.

The couple shared a few pictures and videos from the funfilled birthday party on their Instagram stories. Ayushmann and Tahira posed in style for the camera and Ayushmann shared the picture with the caption, “Posers and lovers.” He also shared a small video of her chatting with the guests and captioned it, “Look at this hottie across the table.”

Meanwhile, Tahira also gave a glimpse of the party on her Instagram stories which is flooded with inspiring messages she received from friends and well wishers.

Tahira had ditched the wig a few days ago and had introduced her bald avatar on Instagram with the caption, “Hello world! That’s a new me with the old self! Was getting tired of the extensions, so this is how it is and it’s so liberating in every sense of the word, so much so that I don’t have to duck the shower while bathing or while picking up the soap! I never thought I would go bald, was stretching my time with the good ol’ cap for too long. But this feels so good #breastcancerawareness #baldisbeautiful#selflovenomatterwhat.”

Several Bollywood actors had praised the writer for putting up a powerful front in her fight against cancer. While Ayushmann called her “Hottie” in the comments section, Deepika Padukone had called her “HOT” and Twinkle Khanna called her “super cool.”

The teenager announced her arrival on the glam scene by making her debut on Vogue magazine cover. Shah Rukh had himself welcomed her by sharing the cover with the caption, “Holding her in my arms again thanks to Vogue. ‘What imperfect carriers of love we are…” except when it comes to our children.
